Dr Yadu Singh, Sydney, Australia
Welcome to my site!
Let me introduce myself. I am a cardiologist and live in Sydney, Australia. I am also a Physician or Internal Medicine specialist with MD.
I obtained my basic medical degrees and training [MBBS and MD] from the prestigious institutions in India. My specialist training as a cardiologist was in Australia which led to FRACP [Fellow of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians]. I work in Sydney, NSW.
In addition to being a doctor, I have a keen interest in any matter which has anything to do with Australia, India and Indian-Australians. I consider myself well-informed about what is happening in Australia, India and the World.
This Blog is not about medicine. This is all about my political views on variety of issues. I am not a member of any political party. I am a keen observer of politics, however.
Australia is my home since 1991. I live in Australia physically, mentally and socially. Australia is my “Karm Bhumi or Place of work”, but India will always remain my “Matra Bhumi or Birth place”, with a significant emotional bonding.
I love Australia and India both. I support Australian cricket team in every match except when they play with the Indian team. When that happens, I become neutral and rejoice with either winning team! [Just kidding!].
I identify myself as an Australian when choosing between Australian and any other identity as I share my value system with Australian value system and Australia is my home. When dealing with regions, religions or languages from India, I am an ”Indian” first and anything else second. I love India dearly as it is the place of my birth, but I love Australia even more because it is a great country and it has given me so much. I have no doubt that Australia is a great place to live and work, and Australians are fantastic people.
Unlike some, I do not believe that Australia is a racist nation, although I recognise that there are some people who hold racist views, just like any other country of the world. Such people are a minority. Vast majority of Australian people, like any other country, are fair-minded people and are not racist. Systems, rules, Laws, regulations and Governments in Australia are not based on racism or racist agenda.
I wish to see Indian-Australians to be well-integrated among themselves and within Australian general community, both socially and politically. I want to see Indian Australians [only good ones!] in the state and federal parliaments. Most importantly, I want to see much better relations between Australia and India.
I support people of Indian heritage irrespective of which religion or political views they belong to, but I don’t support those among us who are exploiting our own [students and new immigrants]. I also do not support those who are in the community leadership for personal benefits and do not have any idea or understanding of “conflict of interest”. I believe that this needs to change. It is my belief that it will happen if some from Indian ethnic media stop supporting such leaders.
I am a strong believer and a supporter of the multiculturalism and Multicultural Australia. To put it simply, multiculturalism to me is about freedom to practise and enjoy my own culture, enjoy other cultures, let others enjoy their own cultures and to integrate with the general Australian culture, ethos and values, which must always remain supreme. I believe in integration, not segregation. I like good and decent people from all sections of the Australian society, irrespective of their race, religion, beliefs, culture or political persuasion.
I have been active in the community over the years. Details can be found here. http://tinyurl.com/267s6s6

an australian attacked in UP-india today, just 5 hours ago, stabbed and looted and thorn on railway track, he was a krishna bhakt,
Dear Mr Singh,
This is really funny , I arrived in sydney 3 yrs ago and I didn’t know even a soul here , the first night i met this indian fallow and he gave me one advice ” keep away from indians and u b happy ” . I moved into a flat , my nxt door neighbor invited me for a party.One person from karnataka who is in australia for 15 yrs started talking with me and when i told him I am from rajasthan and did my higher studies in bangalore , he got agitated and told me that all the bloody north indians r moving to bangalore and corrupting the place and culture, property prices have gone up , bangalore is no more garden city & blah blah.I was totally gob-smacked . do u see the irony here .now as i am writing it i am going crazy as my gujarati neighbor’s Music system is blaring out all kind of pujas & aartis.U know why it’s so loud b’coz he knows his neighbors are indians who take things for granted and going against the god ….now thats blasphemous ….sorry but there is so much to vent out…..my friends has started calling me albert pinto……I am trying to find out whether the indians in USA r same as here , i m not worried abt australian or brit but my fallow indian……………..

Hi, A fantastic blog, I have to admit this is really well thought out, this forum definitely needs bloggers like you. Filling the place with some good tips and information, I did follow A couple of your posts, they been relevant and important points were elaborated. I must say we should always be ready to post in our best knowledge to aid people. Really love your posting.
Quating from news.com.au, sydney morning and other autralian news…
” Dr Singh said Mr Swami was behaving normally in the days leading up to his disappearance, and had even holidayed in Brisbane with some visiting relatives the week before.
Now those relatives have halted their travel plans and joined Mr Swami’s Sydney-based uncle Surender Gora in a frantic search.
Dr Singh, former chief of the Indian Consul General’s community committee on Indian students’ issues, said Mr Swami’s mother and father remain helpless in India.
The mother is beside herself and fears the worst, he said.
“The family are worried about a drastic situation because it is very unusual for him not to call anyone in Sydney or his own mother in India,” Dr Singh said.
“They are still hoping that maybe he is somewhere and that he will call or return, but they are worried about the possibility that some nasty outcome may happen.”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
My view – 35,000 missing people in australia each year (according to stat. salvation army), why our so call ‘good indian community leader’ have to make inputs to a big media drama for swami as he is as normal as anyone in australia.
Dr.yadu , you have always criticised bad indian media when covering the indian student attacks as some of it was unnessary , same thing has happened here, a shamful incident, swami desereves slaps on his face rather a family dinner his uncle announced to the media, swami shold say sorry to the indian high consulate and australian police, waste of tax payers money and time, we have to stop rasing our voice all the time when indians are invloved in crimes because so far many of these crimes proved to be either fake or have indian behind it.we can not be different from aussies……we need equal balanced media covarge in all good and bad things, if we want to normally adjust here…..gd luck !!
Nice to know @ u….
Nice to have you on board, mate!
youre talk about multiculturalism, mr singh, rings like a cracked bell in the light of the criticism of the play ganesh vs the 3rd reich which you have put up on your website.
seriously, the world is wide and wonderful and full of great things. but these little balls of hatred that appear and threaten to destroy other little things should not be fed.
i agree with you that australia is not free of racism. definitely. no buts.
but who owns the great symbols of the world? who has the right to say what should or should not be created out of the large symbols? unfortunately the world now has been reduced to extreme points of narrowness born of negativity and ignorance.
Does your council help indian students studying in sydney financially and to get a job
No, we do not. We do not have funds for such support. Indian Govt agencies would be the ones which might provide such support in exceptional cases.
Great – see you all very soon in Sydney!
